Most drug related convictions make a person deportable and permanently (forever) inadmissible to USA. You should consult a US immigration lawyer and ask to review your husband's convictions and whether he can apply for a waiver.

Depends on the details of his conviction, he might be entitled to a waiver after 10 years.

And since you are a U.S. Citizen, you can apply for him.

You should consult an immigration lawyer, to determine eligibility for waiver.

If you need further assistance, you can contact our firm.
